Because lightning is the kind of thing that will over-cook a circuit, a car is the best place to be, right? Well, using the same principles and also that of a faraday cage, wouldn't a car be a safe place to store things? The body should act like a faraday cage, right?

The lightning won't be the issue, It will be the EMP that causes the issues, the car will add no more protection, In fact, your car wont work either, unless you have a really old banger with nocircuitry in it :-)
The car would add no further protection, It's not the lightning, it's the EMP that will cause the damage, In fact your car will be pretty nocked out as well, Unless you drive an old banger with absolutley no circuitry in it whatsoever
